InterviewHow did you get started as a model?When I moved to Edmonton, I was working retail at Club Monaco. I ended up helping a scout from Mode Models and she told me to come in for an interview. Things went well and I signed an international contract. Have you been jet setting all over the world for shows yet?I have been doing mostly local stuff. Being in school, makes it tough to make time for shows elsewhere. I do the Fashion for Compassion show every year, some stuff for Harry Rosen, and I have done a few billboards here and there. Do you get razzed with the stereotypes of being a male model?Of course! My friends give me crap for it. There are always lots of Zoolander jokes flying around. Honestly, it has been good to me in terms of bringing in extra cash while I am in school. We get paid well for what we have to do. Is this going to be a long-term thing for you? Is your goal to make it big?Unless something comes up in the next eight months that I just cannot pass up, I will most likely stop. Once I am done school, it will be time to get into the real world. Many guys think they are going to make it big, but around here, you have to keep a level head. I mean, I grew up in a small town and this modeling thing was not even on my radar. I hear you do mostly underwear modeling. How does someone get into that specifically?When I got signed, my manager basically decided that I was going to be a “Body Guy”. That accounts for about 90% of the work that I do. It does mean I have to spend a lot of time in the gym. Thankfully, it is free at the U of A. Are you cool with being pigeon holed as a “Body Guy”?Whatever brings in the money. |
